I am leaving my current company (notice is in and did exit interview).
The head of HR who did the interview with me is asking me to provide her with the email address of the recruiter for the new company who has been working with me... Lol.
She also wants to know a 'brief job description, company name and location'.
I have no problem telling her the name of the company and the city, but am very hesitant to give out anything else.
Does this seem as strange to you all as it does to me?
I work in a sensitive industry where trade secrets are a concern etc... but this seems really strange.

Yes, that is odd. I probably wouldn't even have given them the name of the company, but that's me. I would give them the general HR phone number and tell them that's all you have at this point.
Once they know the company I'm assuming they can just look up the HR number anyways. I'd be concerned they would call up and say don't hire Texas_Minded, he drinks on the job, steals people's lunches, sexually harassed 5 women, and was about to be fired anyways, just out of spite.

Wait, how did you know all that! (kidding)
Lol
Yeah, I am leaving with all good feedback but am still paranoid about this.
Absolutely not. Just say you aren't comfortable with it.
Pretty much this is what I am thinking.
I may tell them the company name and the city I will be working in... but that is it.
The company I am going to is based out of another country and has over 40,000 employees worldwide so the chances of them finding out more from that is slim.

Did you sign a non-compete? I'm guessing the bold is the reason she wants to know but IMO no reason to tell her unless for some reason you are obligated to.

That is what I am trying to remember right now...
Even under a non-compete I would be surprised if I was obligated to provide anything more than just the new company name and the industry.
